Flying Car more economical than SUV

We had a car that turned into a boat on these forums not long ago... now someone has invented an economical car that flies.

Flying Car more economical than SUV</B>

The M400 needs 35 clear feet to take off but thanks to its 770 hp engine can whiz to 365 mph - cruise control kicks in at 326 mph - and climb at 6,400 feet per minute. You may hear it before you see it: it emits a rather noisy 65 dba at 500 feet. Interestingly, with a fuel consumption of 20 miles to the gallon on the road, it's rather more economical than a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and looks positively eco-friendly compared to a Hummer.</I>

i can remember a few years back my mother getting something in the mail to invest in this company. I may have the financial report somewhere laying around in the mix of my old R&T magazines. If i get bored i'll go digging.


IT seems pretty cool idea tho I believe it will not catch on for many years. Personal jets are just becoming popular and also developing some 4 seaters that run in the 1mill range.
